Great to see some new shooters at the range – father & son team Glen and Jett.
The Ladies’ Competition saw only 3 entrants today: Lainey B 489/500, Olivia B 487, and Vanessa S 452.
The Handicap shoot was hotly contested, with Alan C winning the day with an adjusted score of 499, followed by Olivia B 496, Lainey B 493, Tony H 486, Darren S 482, and Doug B 479.
There was only one entrant in the Junior Shield: Lainey B with 486/500, an excellent score.
Catch-up targets for the Ole Smokey Benchrest were entered by Alan C (484/500), Darren S 471, and Vanessa S 442.
The day finished with some .303 shooting, as it often does. Alan had his trusty 1942 Lithgow SMLE (complete with matching bayonet), Derek a cantankerous Enfield No. 5 “jungle carbine”. Our next shoot is at Dairyville on Sunday 17 November at midday, with some marksmanship revision followed by Round 4 of the Ole Smokey Shield, and Round 3 of the Centrefire 100/200 yard grouping. This is the last competition shooting day for the year before the Club Christmas Party and prizes/awards day on Sunday 15th December, so come along and boost your scores. Range Officers for the day are Alan N and Olivia B.
